While he thinks the “Extremis” ha
Now empowered by the Extremis Serum, Tony confronts Mallen in order to put an end to his reign of carnage once and for all. I did not care for this issue - at least not during my first read through. While I can appreciate a fierce battle - of which this issue definitely has - it occupies such a significant portion of the final issue that it just feels rather bloated, especially since it doesn’t g

The second issue of “Extremis” picks up shortly after the first, Tony meets up with Maya and the two take a trip to an old acquaintances secluded home to ask for advice regarding the stolen “Extremis” formula. Meanwhile, Mallen, endowed with unimaginable strength from the Extremis Serum, raids an FBI Office. So, to start things off, this issue was incredibly graphic. Which was actually surprising
Released in 2004, “Iron Man: Extremis” served as a soft reboot, wherein the titular characters origin is both altered and modernized. It’s also readers first glimpse at the armor design that would eventually become the basis for the 2008 blockbuster film, “Iron Man.” “Extremis” presents us with a version of Tony Stark who has been Iron Man for a substantial amount of time - albeit, as he does in

We've seen them from their beginnings, watching as they showed us just how extraordinary they each were; we watched as they learned painful lesson after lesson, as each of them dealt with losses so unimaginable that they would've crippled any ordinary person; we've seen them muster every ounce of their strength to stave off threats
While it may seem strange to do a review on a trailer, I feel that the first trailer to a movie ten years in the making is worth spending a minute discussing.
